The intelligent unit of Ondo state security Network Agency Amotekun has rescued a 14-year old Felix Adekunle hawker from the hands of kidnappers in Owo local government area of Ondo State.
Adekunle, a 14-year-old JSS 2A student of Furaben International College Owo, who was hawking slippers along Okemoko in Owo town was Kidnaped by three men.
The Corps Commander of the Ondo State Amotekun, Chief Adetunji Adeleye made this known to The Hope Metro while handing over the boy to his mother at the Command’s Headquarters in Akure.
“We got a distress call that some vehicles drove recklessly along Benin/Owo road. While tracing the vehicle we later ran into the young boy who said he was running away from three kidnappers from Owo.
“The victim also explained that the only thing he could remember was a Camrry car without a plate number and having tinted glasses and that he became unconscious immediately he was pushed into the car.
“He explained to us that the area was isolated as he could not call on anyone for help
Narrating his ordeals, the victim, said” It happened on Saturday while he was selling slippers after school.
“I took through Okemoko road which is a shorter root to the market were I saw three men that told me one of my goods have fallen down.
“I quickly dropped my goods from my head and went after the other one. I got there and couldn’t find anything, after which the men dragged me into the vehicle and I became unconscious.
“I later found myself at a dilapidated blue bungarlow in a forest. I saw a woman crying with her hands tied backwards sitting by a headless body of a young person.
“I asked her who was the person and she responded that it’s her child. At this period. The woman asked me to remove the rope she was tied up with and we fled together.
“While fleeing, the woman fell. She called me back and gave me N500 and said I should keep running and never look back.
“When I got out of the bush, I saw some people selling bread by the roadside and narrated my ordeals to them. They called the police who did not respond and later got the Amotekun who responded swiftly and took me to their office.
Mother of the victim, a 41-year-old Mrs Abosede Adekunle, said she has been searching for her son who has not returned home, thinking that he must have misplaced the proceeds from his sales and that might have make him stay away from home.
“We were surprised to get a call from Amotekun that I should come and pick my son that was rescued from the kidnapers.
